Davis started the second half with a three-point play to give the Illini a
six-point edge. Following a Leuer dunk, McCamey made a free throw and Davis
made a layup to make it a 43-36 margin with 17:26 to play.

Leuer stopped the bleeding with a jumper, but Illinois used an 8-2 flurry to
create some distance. Meyers Leonard capped the surge with a three-point play
to give the home team a 51-40 lead with 11:51 remaining.

Tim Jarmusz's three-pointer cut the deficit to 54-49 with 6:34 to go. The
Illini, though, used a personal 6-0 run from McCamey to essentially put the
game away.

Wisconsin never got closer than six the rest of the way.
